This does not work because LaTeX blocks are inserted *after* the
\begin{document} line.  You need to put this all in the preamble which
you can achieve using Tom's suggestion (define a new LaTeX class for
org) and/or using #+latex_header: lines.

I have a combination of these for articles for Springer
books/journals.  I define the following org LaTeX class, based on the
author.tex example I got from the Springer templates:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (add-to-list 'org-latex-classes
               '("springer" "\\documentclass[graybox]{svmult}
  % choose options for [] as required from the list
  % in the Reference Guide
  \\usepackage{mathptmx}       % selects Times Roman as basic font
  \\usepackage{helvet}         % selects Helvetica as sans-serif font
  \\usepackage{courier}        % selects Courier as typewriter font
  \\usepackage{type1cm}        % activate if the above 3 fonts are
                              % not available on your system
  %
  \\usepackage{makeidx}         % allows index generation
  \\usepackage{graphicx}        % standard LaTeX graphics tool
                               % when including figure files
  \\usepackage{multicol}        % used for the two-column index
  \\usepackage[bottom]{footmisc}% places footnotes at page bottom

  % see the list of further useful packages
  % in the Reference Guide

  \\makeindex             % used for the subject index
                         % please use the style svind.ist with
                         % your makeindex program
    "
                 ("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")
                 ("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}")
                 ("\\subsubsection{%s}" . "\\subsubsection*{%s}")
                 ("\\paragraph{%s}" . "\\paragraph*{%s}")
                 ("\\subparagraph{%s}" . "\\subparagraph*{%s}")))
#+end_src

and then use this in my org file for the publication as follows:

#+begin_src org
  ,#+latex_class: springer
  # Article/chapter specific information: title, authors, institution
  ,#+title: The full title of the chapter
  ,#+author: The authors
  ,#+latex_header: \titlerunning{The running title for long titles} 
  ,#+latex_header: \institute{The institute information}
  # I also include article/chapter specific requirements here
  # beyond those required by the Springer class
  ,#+latex_header: \usepackage{algorithm}
  ,* The paper starts here
#+end_src

I hope this helps.
